rebirth against the times

While Zhou Huairen and Xue Wenkai were exchanging words, they suddenly heard that something happened outside.

Everyone was stunned, but Zhou Huairen smiled slightly and said: "Look, nephew, what I said is right, right? Whatever you are afraid of, you will come. Let's go and have a look."

Zhou Huairen, Xue Wenkai and others swarmed out of the Xue family mansion. As soon as they walked out of the door, they heard fierce shouting and fighting at the street.

After walking for less than a hundred meters, after turning a corner, I saw twenty or thirty people fighting in front of me, and there were many people watching and shouting. Fortunately, everyone was just fighting with fists and kicks, and didn't move the guy.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After the leaders in the meeting shouted, the people on both sides gradually separated. However, many people were already disheveled and their faces were stained. There were also a few who were seriously injured and fell to the ground and could not get up. They were dragged by others before they managed to get closer.

roadside.

Xue Wenkai carefully looked at the people on both sides. On one side were his subordinates and people from forces closer to his father. On the other side were the subordinates of the leaders who usually had trouble dealing with his father.

"What's going on? They're all brothers, why are they fighting?!" Zhou Huairen was the first to ask sternly.

An injured brother from Laliang Town pointed at Xue Wenkai's men and said: "The old president was killed, and all of us are here to express our condolences. They just blocked the road and made inquiries. When we arrived in this town, there were people everywhere.

Watching and guarding us, what does this mean? Do you think we are thieves or do you think we have no good intentions?!"

"You yourself know what you are worried about..."

"It's you who deceived others too much..."

After a disagreement, the two sides started to quarrel again. Seeing this, Zhou Huairen stopped trying to persuade him and just looked on with a smile on his face.

Xue Wenkai shouted with a sullen face to stop everyone, and said angrily: "My father is taking care of his funeral, but you are arguing over a trivial matter and disturbing his rest. What crime should you do?!"

Everyone knew Xue Wenkai's temper, and when they saw that he was really angry, they didn't dare to say anything for a moment.

At this time, at the back of the crowd, Bai Shuo, Anna, Cao An, and Yuan Xiaowen also followed out from the Xue family courtyard. When Xue Wenkai and Zhou Huairen were competing in the mansion, Bai Shuo had already come out of the reception room.

He quietly stood in a hidden place and observed the development of the situation. Hearing that something happened outside, he followed him out and stood behind the crowd to see the excitement.

However, at a glance, Bai Shuo discovered that Fan Ren was also sandwiched among the crowd, silently watching every move of Xue Wenkai and others, so he walked over and gently tugged on Fan Ren's clothes.

"We've already started a fight, and you, the police chief, are still here to watch the fun?"

Fan Ren said with a "hehe" smile: "My Mr. Bai, don't look at where this place is. There must be hundreds of people together. What can I do? I'm afraid it's just me.

If I come out, people on both sides of the family will point their fingers at me, and I will die in the line of duty immediately."

Bai Shuo smiled contemptuously: "Isn't that great? It can be regarded as maintaining local unity. Then I will suggest to Secretary Xiao that I give you a medal or something..."

"Come on, let's leave the medal to those who need it more. At the moment, I still think life is more important."

Seeing Fan Ren's cynical look again, Bai Shuo scolded angrily: "I said you are already the deputy director, but you still have this kind of moral character. How can you be a policeman if you are afraid of death?!"

Fan Ren suddenly became serious and said to Bai Shuo seriously: "I am afraid that I will die, but my first task today is to observe the situation. I can't act too fast and ruin Secretary Xiao's deployment. Besides, it's just someone else at the moment.

There are internal conflicts and the situation has not escalated, so we will continue to observe, um...continue to observe."

Bai Shuo felt that Fan Ren was talking nonsense, so he snorted, ignored him, and turned to look at Xue Wenkai.

At this time, everyone was temporarily calmed down by Xue Wenkai's anger. Xue Wenkai looked around at everyone again and asked sharply again: "Which of you made the first move?"

One of Xue Wenkai's men stood up and said, "They called us your dogs, so I took action first."

Xue Wenkai glanced at this subordinate, and then scolded him expressionlessly: "Come on, take him down first."

The men looked at each other for a while, and finally several people came out and detained the person who struck first.

Then, Xue Wenkai looked at the people on the other side and asked leisurely: "Who is the curser?"

Faced with Xue Wenkai's question, no one responded, but looked at each other carefully.

Xue Wenkai was furious, raised his voice and yelled: "What? Do you have the guts to scold but don't have the guts to stand up?!"

"That's him...that's the man." At this time, the detained subordinate pointed at a man with a mustache opposite and said loudly: "He's the one who scolded us. He called us dogs and said a lot of unpleasant things.

if."

Xue Wenkai looked at the man who was so frightened that his face was livid, smiled coldly, and then said sternly: "Arrest him too."

Upon hearing the order, several of Xue Wenkai's men immediately stepped forward and pulled the man out of the crowd, and then dragged him to the middle.

At this time, Xue Wenkai loudly said to everyone: "Today my family is holding a funeral, and I don't want to make a big fuss and disturb the spirit of this old man in heaven. I thought you would not be held accountable for your first offense, but these two who took the lead in causing trouble are

We can't spare them lightly. We drag them to the entrance of the town and tie them to a tree and give each of them twenty lashes according to family law as a warning. I want to see who dares to cause trouble."

This kind of whipping is a punishment carried out by the villagers' association for those who have made serious mistakes in the meeting. The whip is the kind with rhombus thorns on it, and the skin will be ripped apart with one lash. After twenty lashes,

, this person will lose his skin even if he doesn’t die.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Wenkai's subordinate became dejected but did not dare to resist, but the mustache kept shouting and trying to break free.

Everyone now knows that Xue Wenkai is planning to hit each other fifty times, and punish them together with his own people, which not only shocks everyone but also does not appear to be too partial.

When Zhou Huairen saw that the mustache was about to be dragged away, he immediately winked at his people. People on the other side of the mustache immediately gathered around, trying to stop Xue Wenkai from executing the family law. Many people who were just watching the fun also took the opportunity to follow.

There was a lot of noise.

"Why arrest people..."

"Why use lynching?"

…

Seeing that everyone was making a fuss again, Zhou Huairen showed a proud look on his face. However, Xue Wenkai frowned and shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to make any more noise, otherwise you will be guilty of the same crime as them."

"Brothers, why does Xue Wenkai arrest us and condemn us? He is just President Xue's son and he really thinks of himself as the president."

Someone in the crowd shouted something, which made the noisy crowd even more arrogant.

"Quiet!" Seeing that his threats were ineffective, Xue Wenkai roared angrily and said, "I intend to let you go, but you still rebel? Don't think that I am afraid of you because there are more people!"

As he said this, Xue Wenkai waved his hand, and everyone immediately became frightened.
